Robbins trustees approve ban on donation receptacles, adopt vehicle-code reference and surplus-property policy; award CDBG resurfacing contract
Summary
The Robbins Board of Trustees on June 24 adopted multiple ordinances — banning donation (clothing) receptacles, incorporating the Illinois Vehicle Code by reference, and establishing a surplus real-estate sales policy — and approved the CDBG #2306-024 street-resurfacing contract; all votes passed with five ayes and one absence.
Robbins trustees approved a package of ordinances and contract actions at their June 24 meeting, passing each motion on roll-call votes with Trustees David R. Dyson, Thomas Harper Jr., Chanel Kelly, Jeanneen Holmes and Michael Collier Sr. voting yes; Trustee Ernest Maxey Jr. was absent.
The board adopted an ordinance banning donation (clothing) receptacles, cited in the meeting as a nuisance item. Trustees also approved an ordinance to incorporate the Illinois Vehicle Code by reference into local code (Ordinance 6-24-25 A) and adopted a policy regulating the sale of surplus real estate (Ordinance 6-24-25 B).
In one of the meeting’s infrastructure actions, the board approved the bid review and award recommendation for CDBG Project #2306-024, a street-resurfacing contract. Trustees framed the vote as implementation of a Community Development Block Grant-funded street improvement; the meeting record shows the bid award motion carried on the same five-aye roll call.
The board tabled an item on an IMRF resolution, noting it had already been approved, and deferred a proposed 'Zero Tolerance' speeding ordinance back to committee for additional work. A separate proposed ordinance on nuisance dogs was likewise deferred back to committee.
The meeting also included ceremonial and personnel approvals tied to board action: trustees approved the swearing-in of three new police officers — Latara Reed, Randal Maxie and Preston Dixon — and the swearing-in of Ylondia Hudson as a Planning and Zoning Commissioner.
The meeting minutes record each motion’s mover and seconder (for example, the swearing-in of police officers was moved by Trustee Michael Collier and seconded by Trustee Chanel Kelly) and show consistent roll-call tallies for each adopted ordinance and motion. No formal amendments to the listed ordinances were recorded at the meeting.
The board entered executive session later in the meeting on personnel and limited real-estate pricing matters and reconvened before adjourning at 10:01 p.m.
